Abstract
This chapter reflects back on the ways of ideas about human rights to privacy and contiguous rights over data and memory in modern times. It suggests that, if human rights are necessary mechanisms to keep humans within society, then we need to pay attention to common human understandings of privacy and contiguous rights, learning from the subjugated knowledges of the past. The illuminations offered in this book’s investigations are still quite vague. Yet they anticipate in surprising ways ‘new’ ways of thinking around privacy and contiguous rights in more recent times.
